Belyaev vs. Clark: One Will Fall

"All in and a call Table 385," we heard a dealer shout right in front of us. We got up to see Svyatoslav Belyaev all in for around 235,000 and up against Charles Clark, who barely had him covered.

Showdown

Belyaev{10-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Clark{A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}

It was a coinflip with essentially both playing for their tournament lives. The {7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop favored Belyaev, who kept the lead with tens. Surprisingly, neither player so much as flinched when the {A-Spades} spiked on the river to give Clark the lead. The {5-Spades} river filled out the board and Belyaev shook hands with his opponent before taking his leave.
